JOHN F. PEELE, OF BRIGHTSVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA.

PLOW-STOCK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 552,545, dated January '7, 1896.

Application filed June 27,1895. Serial No. 554,201. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JOHN F. PEELE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brightsville, in the county of Marlborough and State of South Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plow-Stocks; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The special object of the invention is to make a plow-stock of such form that it will properly carry a bull-tongue taper, a shovel, or a sweep, and a handle by which a person may conveniently pull it.

Figure 1 of the drawings is an elevation in perspective and Fig. 2 a detail plan View of the stock before it has been bent into shape.

In the drawings, A represents the plowstock made of the usual tire metal, about thirty inches long, and provided with the longitudinal slot at through which passes the heel-bolt by which the shovel, sweep, or bulltongue is secured on the stock. This plate A is bent at an acute angle to form the shoe a and the plow-seat a The metal is then bent on the curves a a to make a forwardlyprojecting shank a In this shank are made the two holes a a to register with corresponding holes in the bifurcations b b of a handle B, so that rivets orbolts'may be used to secure the handle to the stock. At one side of the handle, at a suitable distance from its free end, is made fast a side stud b, by which a person may pull the plow through the ground.

Y I am aware that garden-plows and other implements have been heretofore constructed so Witnesses:
